Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 12 ounces apple chicken sausage sliced (See note #1)
- 3 cups butternut squash 1/4-inch diced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 leaves sage
- 1 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup parmesan
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 12 ounces pappardelle pasta
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package instructions. Once ready reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain pasta.
- Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat along with the COLEMAN ORGANIC® Apple Chicken Sausage until the sausage begins to brown. Once done set the sausage aside.
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet along with sage leaves and butternut squash. Cook for 5 minutes, then toss squash so it browns on more than one side. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes or until squash is slightly browned and cooked through. Salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Add remaining tablespoon of butter and heavy cream to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Add Parmesan cheese and nutmeg and continue stirring for 8-10 minutes, until mixture thickens. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Add pasta, sausage, spinach, and butternut squash to the skillet stirring to coat everything. If you need to thin the sauce a bit you can add the reserved pasta water until you reach the consistency you like. Once the spinach is cooked remove pan from heat and serve immediately.
